Marvel’s Daredevil: Why We Loved It

We did it! We polished off the entire first season of Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix!

Our conclusion after thirteen episodes of perfectly paced plotting, crisply choreographed martial arts, and damn well delivered one-liners? That Netflix has succeeded in making a kick-ass superhero series that more than holds its own against the big screen giants.

Below are some of the reasons why we fell in love with Daredevil (besides Charlie Cox’s smile/abs). Beware of spoilers if you’re still catching up!

But most importantly…

In all seriousness though, Netflix has done an awesome job of making what’s basically a thirteen-hour blockbuster film, complete with an origin story that somehow manages to satisfy us and leave us wanting more, and a bad guy that would make Bane quake in his boots. We might’ve had to wait a little too long to see Matt don his shiny new suit for the first time, but the season’s final set piece reached Dark Knight heights, and has us counting down the hours til the second season.
